Have you ever purchased something really awesome, but realized later on that maybe it was meant for someone else?

I really love the message on this wall art, but it has been in it’s box for many months. Why didn’t I put it up already?

Shortly after purchasing it, I realized that one of the ladies at work had a print out of this saying on her wall. I think we bonded a little because of it.

Every time I thought of this art frame or the words, she would pop in my mind. Every time I would see her, I thought about the art frame. More so now since I have been feeling a little sad because her husband is battling cancer and I find myself not knowing what to say.

I have decided to gift this art frame to her, and I hope that somehow it will help her during this most difficult time in her life.

Like this:

I was chatting with one of my cousins regarding one of my issues. There are some guys that I don’t feel comfortable with–whether at work and outside of it.

Usually, I can tolerate a lot (and I mean A LOT) until I feel like I have to take some measures.

As I was explaining my situation, my cousin said that the problem was that I am too nice.

She had experienced the same thing, and that my being nice could sometimes be an encouragement to others.

Since I usually smile, divert, and just remove myself from the situation quickly when I feel uncomfortable… that by not saying anything about what’s making me uncomfortable… I was actually perpetuating my situation.

I think that this is another tough lesson for me to learn from, and is an important part of self-care and standing up for myself.

Having had an experience with a spine issue before, when a new persistent pain at a different site pops up along it, it becomes a scary thing. Luckily, I received a message from my Spine Specialist that my recent MRI and X-Rays show that things are normal. I am also glad that I am better at caring for myself and instead of waiting for things to get many times worse, I get things checked sooner.

Something cute happened today! It was something that brought a smile to many faces.

I was going to throw a smal cup into a Minion trash can, but a young toddler, following his dad, was about to pass in front of me, pushing a kid’s shopping cart. However, he got distracted by the Minion, stopped, and gave the Minion a hug! Aw!

His dad, however, was aghast and exclaimed, “That’s a trash can!” LOL!
